People have been asking about a Weyland - Tyrell connection lately

Someone brought up the potential connection between Prometheus/ Alien universe and Blade Runner universe and I answered that there was some material in the form of a letter from Weyland about a corporation that is very thinly disguised as Tyrell corp and expresses disfavor in Tyrell's genetic androids - replicants, as opposed to the kind produced by Weyland, i.e. synthetics. The letter suggests that Peter Weyland thought playing God with genetics was an abomination compared to his synthetic creations made of wire, plastic and other inorganic materials. This viral promotional material actually contradicts the viral video of the 2023 TED talk directed by Luke Scott where Peter Weyland challenges anyone who considers his synthetic men as unnatural. It strikes me as being a bit hypocritical to pass the same kind of ignorant judgement on Tyrell for doing very much the same kind of thing both of which could be considered as unethical enterprises by religious backward thinking people.
